Turit Fröbe

Finland is the undisputed pioneer in architectural education. In 1998, it was one of the first countries in Europe to develop an official architectural policy, to more systematically integrate architecture into the educational system, teacher training programs at universities, and adult education. In her field study, Turit Froebe spoke with various experts to get a picture of just how successful this internationally acclaimed Finnish architectural policy has been, and shares these insights in this publication. Has it succeeded in anchoring architectural education in the education system? What conditions did this require? What structures were created to do so? And is it possible to derive recommendations from Finnish experience for countries such as Germany?

Die Akropolis ist in Le Corbusiers Werk allgegenwärtig. Sie war Inspirationsquelle, Prüfstein für die eigene Architektur und Maßstab für die eigenen Ansprüche. Sie war aber auch zentraler Bestandteil seiner Selbstinszenierung und trug zur erfolgreichen Gründung des Mythos Le Corbusier bei. Turit Fröbe nimmt eine Neubewertung der Rolle der Akropolis für Le Corbusiers Werk jenseits seiner eigenen Narration vor. Sie rekonstruiert seine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Monument, stellt dar, welcher Quellen er sich bediente und zeigt, was er darüber hinaus an Erfahrungen ganz anderen Ursprungs unter dem Stichwort Akropolis subsumierte. Das Ergebnis war eine Rezeption, die eigenständig und eigenwillig und dabei dennoch fest verankert in der Tradition des 9. und des 2 . Jahrhunderts war.
